This forum is designed to be a sort of "out-of-bounds" place for people to test out vB code, smilies, advanced posting options, and so on. Please be aware that you can always simply use the "Preview Post" button at any time and from any forum to check these things without actually committing a post. However, if you would like to post things here anyway, perhaps to get assistance about a certain feature, feel free to do so.

Please note: testing signatures and avatars is not necessary and only eats up bandwidth and server space. Any changes you make to your avatar or signature are immediately reflected across the entire board, so there is no reason to "test" them here. The only reason you may wish to do this is to gather feedback on a new avatar or sig you are thinking of using in the future to make sure it falls within the board's guidelines. Remember, though, that your changes will be visible everywhere anyway, and you will still be subject to avatar and sig violations, so the safest way to check is to ask first and perhaps link to a page containing your proposed avatar and/or sig.
